Research on the Implementation of Port State Control Based on Broad Sense Concept in the Integrated Management of Foreign Vessel

This paper studied the role of port state control (PSC) in the integrated management of foreign vessel (IMFV). The integrated management is an important measure for port state authorities to control casualties of foreign vessels. Based on the analysis of IMFV and PSC, the working model of "Port State Control Based on Broad Sense Concept (PSCBSC)" is established and applied into IMFV. The comparative analysis of inspection data shows that: the detention ratio, average deficiencies of PSCBSC are far higher than those of standard PSC, while the characteristics of detentions are significantly different as well. By PSCBSC, the resources of maritime safety can be integrated. It is helpful to improve the situation of IMFV.
